Seconds decided – After an emergency landing: Now the hero of the air speaks

Friday followingnoon, A2 motorway near Brezje in Slovenia: surveillance camera images captured the dramatic seconds between life and death. A white small plane, model Aquila A 210 of German design, flies shakily over the busy roadway, losing more and more altitude, flying just over the heads of the puzzled drivers. Then it touches down on the road, hits the embankment and comes to rest in a cloud of dust and with the rear broken off on the hard shoulder.
